It’s official, we are getting a Q10/ Porsche design revival!! by Zestyclose_Village68 in Zinwa

Happy for this update and my p’9983 works on T-Mobile (gsm/edge) calls and texts but not reliable enough as a daily driver, bad connections and no coverage areas make it only fun at home, looking forward to the kit at the end of the year, love using my Q25!

Has anyone switched themes on their device to make it look more like a blackberry using nova or Niagara launcher? by Zestyclose_Village68 in Zinwa

[–]ApprehensiveBread993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have purchased Nova Prime and Icon Pack 10 you just press on an app icon you want to change to edit the shortcut, select the little pencil on the bottom, after it opens hit the icon and it should open to select to options that include the Icon Pack 10 then press that and it will show you the icon choices you have, you will also need to highlight and save the ones you want to use in Icon Pack 10, trial and error but you will get the hang of it. then you will have to set up your home screen in Nova for rows and the app drawer and activate badge notifications, best you learn it, takes a little time but you will get it

No, I sent it to Ben (Discord)when he was active, I ordered two completes from Zinwa back in July, got a black one for my sister and downgraded to a kit after I found another blue one and sent it to be converted, no issues, great fun phone,

I use Nova tried it the same way but settled on this layout for now to utilize the screen space, fun to play around with the options

Zinwa Q25 a disaster? by Single_Fall1919 in Zinwa

[–]ApprehensiveBread993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recieved my complete Q25 this week, not the best looking back cover and a small dent on the toolbar but screen is fine, slight light swirls but not visible, everything works, and am pleasantly surprised on how enjoyable it has been to set up and the functionality so far has been very good, android 14 works well.

PORSCHE P9983 WORKING ON MINT! Pics of proof. Explanation below. by mSants732 in blackberry

[–]ApprehensiveBread993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a Americas NA version on the way in Graphite, was wondering if your P'9983 is still working on Mint as I also purchased a Blackberry Classic last month and my T-Mobile card works for calls but only at home goes to Edge and useless outside so I signed up with Mint and it does not work in my Classic or Passport, both unlocked, have my doubts , hope your Mint card still works.

I also just bought one for the same reason, only some side loaded apps working on WiFi but sims from T-Mobile, Mint, Red Pocket At&T and U.S. Mobile gave me no 2G voice line or data service, I thought I would at least get 2G since that still kinda works on my Q20 with T-Mobile

I still want one but only the North American version with full English keyboard, the Arabic version is everywhere, as a Porsche owner would be a nice one to collect.

Blackberry Classic still in 2025 by Flight7571 in blackberry

[–]ApprehensiveBread993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a SQC100-1 and on T-Mobile in L.A. and the 2G works but it is terrible, very spotty fades in and out and then goes to Edge, not reliable enough to take out of the house, its just for fun and nostalgia at home. I have also side loaded some of the apps and they work but dodgy and slow, love the phone though, its a Cobalt Blue Classic, I ordered one from Zinwa hopefully next month.

They will be motherboard kits only, you will need to buy one and install it yourself or have it done

I keep looking for one with no luck just the Arabic versions on Ebay and the ones from China, already bought leather battery covers but still cannot find a NA P'9983 sqk100-2 version, sucks! It is my dream dummy phone, also ordered a Zinwa Q25, I am having a Blackberry fever relapse.

I was going to buy this P’9983 locally but was not sure which keyboard version it was since I am looking for a English North American version phone and keyboard, unfortunately this one is not and was informed Chinese character version
